startxwin invoking bash

[Harold L Hunt II]

Jack,

I can't help here.  I would appreciate if others would chime in with 
some insight here.

It might be a good idea... or it might not.  I inherited the command 
lines in both of these scripts, so I can't always say that something 
must or most not be done.

It would probably be sufficient in this case to show an example command 
line for starting xterm with another shell that is used on a Linux or 
*BSD distribution... if they use the -i and -l, then we probably should 
to.  If they don't, we might need to make sure that there are no 
drawbacks that would make this is a bad idea.
